Praise
★ ”Along with tracing the general arc of Franklin’s rise in the commercial, scientific, and diplomatic realms, the author offers sidelights on some of his pastimes and inventions before closing with backmatter that includes separate reading lists for adult and younger readers. Woelfle’s dynamic approach results in a personal, probing portrait of the Founding Father. In O’Brien’s tongue-in-cheek ink drawings, small period figures with paper-white skin gesticulate, scurry about busily, or, in one amusing scene, fall comically victim to one of Franklin’s infamous electrical pranks. A superb tribute to a foresighted patriot in peace and war.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Gretchen Woelfle’s delightful book weaves a tapestry of wisdom from Benjamin Franklin’s extraordinary and multifaceted life, a life that prepared him for his ultimate challenge as the revolutionary leader and Founding Father. Her seven steps are a roadmap for young readers to build the ‘milestones’ in their own lives for a successful future, maybe even a revolutionary one.” —Mark Barbour, executive director and curator, International Printing Museum
